Description

A smart and sassy novel about the inevitable changes that come with divorce, remarriage, and step-parents. Cherry Waterton wants a dog, to keep a diary, and to someday become a pop singer or even a judge. She knows what she wants, but what she most decidedly does not want is a step-father, especially if he's goofball Roland Butter, who pushes silly coded messages under her bedroom door. In a fresh format that switches between Cherry's diary, her mother's letters, and Roland Butter's rebus notes, this clever and funny novel relates a young girl's struggle with her mother's divorce and remarriage, and the everyday quirks of adolescence.
